Jordan McLaughlin

In between supporting his All-Star teammate through a 109-points-in-two-games stretch, and burying clutch, go-ahead buckets of his own, Jordan McLaughlin found that — from starters to backups — mid-November marked quite the time to be the Sacramento Kings’ floor general. Prosperous in his throughout-the-night goal of keeping the Kings’ offense nearly mistake-free and ahead of schedule, McLaughlin furthers his sound contribution, elevating them on the scoreboards through a smooth catch-and-shoot 3-pointer along the floor’s weak side corner. The big-time trifecta, McLaughlin’s second of the quarter, propelled Sacramento to a two-point advantage in the game’s final minute, crowd-awakening momentum that the Kings would use to secure a victory over the pesky Utah Jazz. Poised and veteran-like in his contributions throughout, McLaughlin tallied six points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers, to go alongside a game-high +12 plus-minus on November 16, 2024.
